Blog Prompt #26 (to be completed with #25)

Many artists and photographers hope that their work engages with a larger audience outside of the museum/gallery/art&design school system. Describe how your project relates to a discipline or realm outside of art. For example, does it relate to the ideas learned through the study of human behavior/psychology or perception, preservation of wildlife, technological advancements in engineering, the anthropological study of humans and their relationship with the idea of time, outsider art, visitors to natural history museums, popular media audiences, etc? How might your work engage with this type of viewer if you presented it outside of the gallery context? How might your project engage with this type of viewer within the gallery context?
